HEALTH OF WOMEN A POLITICAL GAME?




I have been cruising for the last two weeks and only getting bits and pieces of news on the ship but now that I am back, I see that there are many issues to comment on.

One biggie is the decision of the Susan B. Komen for the Cure Foundation to pull its financial support from the Planned Parenthood organization; it has since reversed its decision after a national uproar.

But what happened. Both organizations help women. Since my sister had breast cancer, we have been doing the Relay for Life every year and contributing what we can to the fight against breast cancer. Planned Parenthood provides breast screening for thousands of women who cannot afford health care insurance so the two organizations seemed to be on the same page with similar goals.

The Komen Foundation’s donations to Planned Parenthood go to help finance breast cancer screenings.

BUT Planned Parenthood also performs abortions even though performing abortions is a very small part of what it does for women’s health and here is the rub!

Abortion is legal in this country and has been decreasing every year due to “planned parenthood” get it? Teach people how to prevent unwanted pregnancy and abortions will not be necessary.

Anyway, it appears that a Komen vice-president named Karen Handel is a rabid anti-choice and anti-abortion extremist and had engineered this move to stop funding Planned Parenthood and somehow slipped it under the radar. Well you cannot just slip something like this under the radar and that is why all hell broke loose…she has now resigned / got fired from her position.

My question here is that knowing that Planned Parenthood helps thousands of women with their health issues when no one else will, why would you want to cut off contributions to such a worthwhile organization?

And this is because anti-choice / abortion radicals are so infatuated with fetus worship that they would actually do harm to living women just to get their way. They are myopic to the max, not seeing the reality of the issue at hand and that makes them dangerous to the max because they will stop at nothing to achieve whatever crazy goal they have in mind.

I am glad to see this immediate coverage of the issue by the media and especially the reaction on social media; can’t pull a fast one any more. Hopefully the reaction to what Karen Handel tried to do will be a lesson to all sane people as to the capabilities of the fetus worshipers.
